The lattice structure of (110)-oriented BiFeO3 epitaxial thin layers has been identified by synchrotron x-ray diffraction. By using (221) and (221) peaks in the (HHL) zone, a ground state monoclinic Mb phase has been observed with lattice parameters of (β;am/√2 and cm)=(89.35°;3.985 and 3.888 Å). These results demonstrate a change in phase stability from rhombohedral in bulk single crystals, to monoclinic in epitaxial thin films with two domain states whose polarization is slightly tilted away from [110] towards [111].
